Day 776: mining in a weird world

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 776:

Okay, so here’s an example of how weird and messed up the gravity is here. (I am so glad to have this camera rock thing.)

There's a polished set of cinderblock bricks here that I've somehow balanced on top of a torch.

Yes, that’s a block of cinderblock bricks balanced on top of a torch. Not just balanced on a snuffed torch, mind. Balanced on the flame and smoke from a torch.

There’s no way these kinds of physics would fly on Earth. I’m not even sure they should be possible. And yet, here I am.

So either this is all a fever dream and even the photo thingie doesn’t exist, or someone in the Physics department at my alma mater has some explaining to do.

Anyway, I’m going out to the mountain to reassess that health hazard tomorrow. Tonight I sleep and worry some more about rocks and physics.
